I was going to say that there's no way that could still be true. I've been to fast food places that are multiple stories high in recent years.

You have heard about the upcoming Sonny Eclipse movie starring Jack Black?
Unless you go at 3am on an EMH evening! We were sitting there and it was around 6 of us (no kids at the time). It's pretty creepy watching him sing to no one and talk like people were there to watch him, and add in our delirium from being there since the park opening that morning made it a pretty hilarious experience.
Plus, you ever watch his dangling legs?

From the interwebs:
Singer and song-writer Kal David is the voice of Sonny Eclipse. In 2013, David was interviewed for The Tiara Talk Show about his vocal performance as Sonny Eclipse. During the interview, David stated he has never gotten a chance to see Sonny Eclipse perform live at Walt Disney World.
He is listed as still alive, but haven't checked on him today.
Ahh cool. The way he posted it made it seem like having him voice Sonny would have meant a new person or something like that.

I took the backlash comment more as people would be upset, as there's really nothing wrong with the vocals as is, in my opinion.

I've seen the pictures of the stage blocked off but now I hear he's not coming back. Anyone know?

He best not be gone. That joint was a big part of my life and I am proud to say I made my CM debut the same time as Sonny.

During the TLT era and first 2 years as Cosmic's, definitely #1.

Why is it creepy that he was nice enough to sing to the 6 of you at 3:00am? ...He's like the light in your refrigerator, or, maybe that falling tree in the forest! If there's no one there, does he still sing?.....hmmmm.
Haha, it was a pretty strange to be honest. I remember going to the restroom and everyone else had already left. It was just me and ole Sonny. Being in the same room alone with an audio-animatronic guy that is speaking to a packed room that doesn't exist is hilarious. And seriously, have you ever watched his feet? They never touch the ground and dangle there!

Never noticed that before you mentioned it. Sonny must have difficulty tappin' his foot to the beat!
Maybe he's being refurbished with learning blocks!

No. He is still alive, according to Wikipedia.
Further back in the thread it says that they are working on the elevator mechanism of the stage.

It wasn't until our 4th trip to WDW that we even went into the SC and saw Sonny. When we took our niece and nephew (9,12) last summer, we ate in there. They both thought it was "lame", but we love him.

Semi-interesting story: I thought the voice of Sonny sounded like Robert Lamm of Chicago (the band), but it's Kal David, who once belonged to a band that ended up becoming Chicago.
